The Tempter Fooled.

We rcccive'! some time since from a Waldo
county correspondent, Il letter containing facts
which should be made known Omitting the
names, for reasons that seem to us good and
sufficient the facts are as follows An excellent
mechanic, whose only fasiit was his ilnmoderate
indulgence i'll strong drinks, sought new field of
labor in a town where his history was known to at
least one of the inhabitants. This one with others
took him by the hand and gave him all the aid and
encouragement possible, although with strong
misgivingo as to his ability to refrain from ntoNi-
cants. Happily he did He joined the Good
Templars, remained true to his pledge, was dill
gent in his business, and was welcomed by all as
an accomplished workman and Il good citizen
Recently man from another town, knowing thi ;
mans weakness, brought liquor out from Belfast
and endcayorett to induce the reformed man to
drink correspondent writes 1--WE all felt in
| 'lignant, and l think justly, at the attempt. But
we rejoice to be able to say that the tempter was
foilc,i. There is Il band of us here fully deter
mined to secure the fallen, and to save others
from falling, by all just means within our power,
socially, morally and legally, and to drive intern

Base Ball.


Tho game between the Bangors and Rocklands,
at Rockland, Aug Sd, was won by the latter club,
score Is to s. In the fifth inning Madden the
Rockland pitcher, broke his arm above the elbow,
while delivering a ball. Dr. Hitchcock says he
will recover in six seven weeks. 1t uses him
up, however, for the Maine State league.
Thursday the Rocklands went to Bangor and
again defeated the up-river team, with score of
10 to D. Leahy, late of the Bangors, pitched for
the Rocklands, and had the satisfaction of beating
his former associates. Goodwin pitched good
game for the hangers.
BELFAST VS.. HOCkLAND.
The Rocklantls, flushed with their two victories,
came to Belfast Friday and played the home team
on the Northport avenue grounds. Belfast pre-
scented different team from that encountered by
Rockland at their last meeting. McAndless had
recovered the use of his ankle and was at his fav-
orlte station at short stop, and, as usual, took in
everything that came that way. The field was
also strengthened by new man named Jordan,
formerly of the Boston Blues, who is Il good bat
ter while in the field he has no superior The bat
terry for Belfast was Doyle and Burns. Doyle
pitched magnificent game, the visitors making
only five safe hits on his delivery. The Rockland
battery was Lyons and Moulton. The Belfasts
went to work with great confidence and letermin-
ell to recover their lost ground. The score II to ?
In favor of Belfast, tells the story. Belfast was
BANKED in the first inning, but made three runs in
the second and none in the third. In the fourth
inning one man was on first when Bert knowlton
went to bat. He had three strikes called and four
balls. He then Strengthened himself to business
and struck the next ball pitched over the right
field fence, making home run and taking the
other man along-a total of two scores. One run
was made in the fifth, two in the eighth and four
III the nintll-a total of twelve. In the sixth in
the thumb and fore finger and had to leave the
field. knowlton then went behind the bat and
Rearlon took the field. RocklanI did not score
until the fourth inning when they made one run.
